Description

DESCRIPTION

furniture system

Technical field

The invention relates to a furniture system.

State of the art

Corresponding furniture systems are known; As a rule, vertical mounting rails are used, in most cases fixed to the wall, on which shelves or compartments are mounted. For this purpose, the mounting rails generally have a plurality of openings arranged successively in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rail, into which suitable brackets or other components can be hooked by means of hooking sections located therein. Documents US 2013/160483 A1, WO 2007/110262 A1 and WO 2008/095766 A2 disclose systems with mounting rails that are arranged on or in walls and in which hook sections connected to elements are or can be hooked. storage.

Depending on the number of mounting rails used, a larger or smaller, flexible shelving system is created. These types of shelving systems are very widespread. Inconveniently, they generally offer largely open storage space. This is disadvantageous, on the one hand, in places where there are large amounts of dust or dirt, since the objects placed on the furniture wall system designed in this way are naturally exposed to said dust or dirt. On the other hand, open designs are not desirable in all sectors, particularly where adaptation to the surrounding furniture may be necessary.

Document FR 2619494 A1 discloses a shelf system in which the side walls are attached from above and below to the base and the cover. Mounting rails are integrated into the side walls, on which shelves or other cabinet elements can be hooked.

US 3,570,198 A discloses a display shelf with double-sided shelf arrangements. The bracket connecting the two faces is designed at the respective ends to accommodate a mounting rail, with a housing also provided for a covering. The covering elements are interlocked laterally, so that in each case one covering is interlocked by two adjacent supports, on the left and on the right. The interlocks are oriented so that in each case there is a gap between two adjacent coverings, which allows access to the openings of the mounting rail.

Document US 3,193,885 A discloses an exhibition screen in which vertical wooden supports can be moved by guide rails. The wooden supports have a slot, arranged vertically, into which supports can be fixed. On the one hand, the brackets can accommodate a mounting rail, on the other, the ends are designed so that panels that have a slot in the front faces can be inserted and retained. Shelf supports, for example, can be attached to the mounting rails.

This adaptation is valid, for example, for the integrated kitchen sector, since a uniform front design of the furniture is generally valued.

The invention

It is therefore the task of the present invention to further develop a furniture system so that it can, for example, visually adapt well to existing situations.

This mission is achieved by a furniture system with the characteristics of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are found in the dependent claims.

The furniture system according to the invention expands the possibilities of the classic hooking system of slats with holes and brackets, since the technician now has the possibility to optionally also build body walls around the storage elements hooked on the rails. assembly. In this way a wide variety of furniture fronts can be used, which can be individually adapted in appearance to the surrounding environment, in particular a kitchen environment.

To this end, a furniture system according to the invention has mounting rails for fixing to a wall, with openings in which hook sections connected to storage elements are hooked or can be hooked. According to the invention, the furniture system is now provided with a rear wall extending essentially in a vertical direction with two narrow longitudinal faces and which is fixed to the mounting rails. The latter is carried out by means of fastening elements, which may in particular be made as angled pieces, from the rear side of the rear wall facing the wall. Of course, the back wall can also be directly bolted, or otherwise connected, to the mounting rails.

At least parallel to a longitudinal narrow face, in particular parallel to the two narrow faces longitudinal parts of the rear wall, at least one side part of the rear wall is also arranged, in particular in the form of a strip. This rests on the mounting rail or is fixed thereto, a cavity, in particular a gap, being formed in the transition area from the rear wall to the side part of the rear wall, in particular between the longitudinal narrow face of the wall. rear and the narrow longitudinal face of the at least one lateral part of the rear wall. Like the rear wall itself, the rear wall side part may also be applied to the rear face facing the wall, with fixing elements such as angles or the like. The multi-part rear wall enables a cavity formed between the rear wall and the rear wall side part, in particular a gap, to allow access to at least a part of the openings of a mounting rail. With such a rear wall configuration it is possible to cover the mounting rails and configure the rear walls to match the surroundings.

The gap does not have to be continuous along the entire longitudinal extension of the rear wall side parts. A gap that leaves only one or a few openings accessible is also conceivable. In a preferred embodiment, the rear wall and the at least one rear wall side part may come into contact in certain locations, in particular in the sections in which no cavity is provided. In this case, it is even possible that the rear wall and the at least one rear wall side part are made in one piece. This would lead to greater stability of the rear face.

In another preferred embodiment, the cavity(s), in particular interstices, formed between the rear wall and the rear wall side part or respectively the rear wall side parts, are formed continuously from top to bottom, and allow access to almost all openings in the wall mounting batten or battens.

To ensure that the attachment of storage elements, such as shelves or storage compartments, with and without handles or the like, remains possible afterwards - that is, after the installation of the furniture system - it may be provided that the gap(s) formed between the rear wall and the rear wall side portion(s) are aligned with the openings in the wall mounting strips behind.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that each rear wall side part has on its narrow longitudinal face opposite the rear wall fixing sections in which a side part of body. In this way, not only can the configuration of the back wall be adapted to the surrounding environment, but an entire furniture body can be built around the storage elements.

For this purpose, it may be provided, in particular, that the fixing sections have a perforation extending transversely to the longitudinal extension of the rear wall side part, in which a fixing element can be housed, or is housed, in particularly an expandable and/or eccentric plug. Thus, side walls of the body can be applied to the rear wall side parts in a conventional manner, very easily.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the furniture system has, on both longitudinal sides of at least one rear wall, a rear wall side part. On the narrow longitudinal faces of the rear wall side elements opposite the rear wall, a body side wall is then arranged and/or applied in each case. It may additionally be provided that the two body side walls are connected, in their upper area in the vertical extension direction, to an upper body part, and in their lower area in the vertical extension direction, to a lower part. of body. This creates an element of furniture with a body, in which the storage elements are accessible from the front face. Alternatively, or in addition to this, it may be provided that a front body part is applied between the two side body walls. In this way, the resulting body furniture can also be closed on the front side, thereby protecting the contents from dust and dirt.

The choice of material for the body parts is arbitrary. Preferably it can be provided that at least one body side wall and/or the body front part are constituted by

i) a transparent material, in particular glass, and/or

ii) a wood material or wood substitute and/or synthetic material

or understand one of them. The person skilled in the art will make the choice depending on the corresponding environment to which the furniture system according to the invention must be adapted.

It may also be provided that the rear wall and/or the rear wall side parts are made of a wood or wood substitute material and/or synthetic material and/or a wood-stone composite material, or comprise one of the same. .

Precisely when glass parts are used, as a rule suitable profiles are used for connection to other side parts, in particular metal profiles such as aluminum profiles, for example, into which the glass parts are inserted or to which they are connected. the glass parts. A furniture wall system looks particularly elegant when the back is made of or includes a wood-stone composite material.

Best way to carry out the invention

The embodiment of a furniture system 1 according to the invention shown in Figure 1 shows two mounting rails 17 that are arranged vertically oriented and parallel to each other. Preferably, but not necessarily, these mounting rails may be configured as attached or capable of being attached to a rear wall or wall.

The mounting rails 17 have on their front face 17d - as shown in Figures 2 and 5 - a plurality of openings 17a arranged successively in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rails 17. Latching sections 18b, 19b connected to storage elements 18, 19 can be hooked into the openings 17a.

The mounting rails 17 are provided with a rear wall 13 that extends essentially in a vertical direction. The height of the rear wall 13 approximately corresponds to the length of the mounting rails 17, and the width of the rear wall 13 is designed so that it covers the mounting rail 17 to an extent such that the openings 17a for the sections 18b , hitch 19b remain accessible. The rear wall 13 may rest on or be secured to the mounting rails 17. Parallel to the two narrow longitudinal faces of the rear wall 13, a lateral rear wall part 16, preferably in the form of a strip, is arranged in each case. These each rest on one of the mounting rails 17 or are fixed thereto. The two rear wall side parts 16 are arranged so that a gap 20 is formed between the longitudinal narrow face of the rear wall 13 and the longitudinal narrow face of the rear wall side part 16, as shown in Figure 2. Together with the mounting rails 17, the rear wall 13 with the rear wall side parts 16 forms the rear face of the furniture system 1.

During assembly, the hooking sections 18b, 19b of the storage elements 18, 19 are hooked, through the slots 20, into the openings 17a of the mounting rails 17. The storage elements 19 may be shelves that are arranged on support elements 19a with the hooking sections 19b. Also conceivable are storage elements 18 that have a body around the storage area, the storage area being able to be opened, for example, by means of a drawer or a door. Furthermore, the storage element 18, 19 can also be a support for a technical element, for example a kitchen appliance.

Figures 3 and 4 show a part of a furniture wall system 1, according to the invention, in which the rear face consists of the mounting rails 17, the rear wall 13 and the rear wall side parts 16. Various storage elements 18, 19 are suspended on the mounting rails. Fixing sections 21 are arranged transversely to the longitudinal extension of the rear wall side parts 16, with perforations being made in the rear wall side parts 16 in which fixing elements can be received. The fixing elements are preferably expandable and/or eccentric plugs.

With these fixing sections 21, the side body parts 11, 12 shown in Figure 1 can be applied to the rear wall side parts 16 in the usual manner. The two body side parts 11, 12 are connected in the upper area to an upper body part 14 and in the lower area to a lower body part 15. The embodiment of the furniture wall system 1 shown here is equipped with a front body part 10, the front body part 10 being designed as a door. It is not necessary to make a front body part 10 in a single piece, it is also conceivable to provide several doors as front body parts 10, in order to open in each case only a part of the front; The front body part 10 may also consist of drawer panels or a mixture of both.

Figure 5 shows the upper section of a rear face of a furniture system 1 according to the invention. The mounting rails 17 applied to a wall (not shown) or simply connecting the rear wall 13 to the rear wall side parts 16 have on the front face 17d a plurality of openings 17a arranged successively in the longitudinal direction of the rails 17 assembly, into which the sections can be hooked 18b, 19b for hooking the storage elements 18, 19. On the faces 17b, 17c, a plurality of retaining elements are arranged, respectively in a row of two; The retaining elements are preferably threaded holes that serve to anchor the fixing elements 22, 23, which are arranged on the rear wall 13 or on the side parts 16 of the rear wall. During fixing it is only necessary to prevent the rear wall 13 from sliding downwards. The fixing elements 23, which by way of example are designed here as a fixing angle, prevent lateral displacement by resting on the mounting rails 17, while the storage elements 18, 19 anchor the rear wall, in the direction of depth, to the mounting rails 17. Thus, according to a preferred embodiment, it is possible to provide the parts of the fixing element 23 that rest on the faces 17b, 17c with tabs that during assembly fit into the retaining elements and thus prevent the rear wall 13 from slipping. This is advantageous, since during assembly the fixing elements 23 are only accessible to the assembly tools through the gap with the wall that is formed at the upper edge 13 of the rear face 13.

Since the rear wall side parts 16 cannot be interlocked between two mounting rails 17, it is recommended to screw the fixing elements 22 to retaining elements of the faces 17b, 17c of the mounting rails 17.

A furniture system 1 according to the invention can be configured very flexibly and therefore opens up great variability in its application, being able to visually adapt well to existing situations.
